Volvo is a Swedish vehicle manufacturer based in Gothenburg. The group sells over 615,000 vehicles annually with a turnover of $24.5 billion. Svenska Kullagerfabriken Aktiebolag was founded in 1915 and originally manufactured the patented Volvo ball bearings. Volvo Cars was established as a subsidiary in 1924 and the first 10 test cars were launched in 1926. As early as 1927, Volvo's first production car, the Volvo ÖV4 "Jakob", was produced. Further car models were produced until 1958, but never exceeded the numbers of 6200 per year. Only the Volvo PV544 from 1958 was then produced over 400,000 times.

As early as 1959, Volvo models were equipped with three-point seat belts, thus offering a new standard of safety. Several model series and fluctuations in the economy later, Volvo faced financial problems in 1999 caused by the economic crisis. The Swedish government helped with a state guarantee. In 2010, the Chinese Geely Holding Group took over Volvo Car Corporation for 1.3 billion euros. New innovative technologies and know-how from China helped Volvo gain an international reputation for innovation and progress. The Internet-connected vehicle soon became standard at Volvo, and self-driving vehicles were also strongly promoted.

Today, Volvo offers a wide range of vehicles from compact cars to sedans and station wagons to SUVs and all with new innovative propulsion methods. The Volvo EX90 will be the first all-electric SUV with bidirectional charging capability. This enables both charging and discharging of the vehicle's battery, allowing the vehicle to be used as a storage unit. All Volvos impress with simple and intuitive operation, high-quality workmanship and an attractive design.
